<h1>Read Physical Books</h1>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Reading books is perhaps one of the most valuable ways to obtain knowledge in this ever-evolving world.</p>
|
||||
<p>With omnipresent digital devices and incredibly convenient purchasing, people find it easier to read books on screens than physical books.</p>
|
||||
<p>I do not agree with this view.</p>
|
||||
<p>Digital books have their own advantages but none outmatch the merits of a physical book.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Focus</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Physical books have no distractions, allowing you to get into 'the zone' much more easily.</p>
|
||||
<p>With digital books, the reader can easily be distracted by something else.</p>
|
||||
<p>A hint of boredom is all it takes to break your focus.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is a high barrier for those already addicted to their devices.</p>
|
||||
<p>Physical books allow you to focus like nothing else which is essential for absorbing the knowledge in the book.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Unbound By Time</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Physical books are not bound by time.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you are reading a book on a screen, the battery can run out.</p>
|
||||
<p>Humans have dreadful memory, which can lead to one forgetting to charge their device.</p>
|
||||
<p>There is no external factor to worry about with physical books.</p>
|
||||
<p>You just pick one up and start reading.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Technology Independent</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>All tech-savvy individuals know that no file format or storage medium lasts forever.</p>
|
||||
<p>Proprietary file formats die when the company who made them dies.</p>
|
||||
<p>If your book is in their file format, the money you spent is of no use.</p>
|
||||
<p>To add to this, if you lose your device or your account, there is no getting your book back.</p>
|
||||
<p>Physical books can be read centuries from now.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Experience</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The experience of reading a physical book is unmatched.</p>
|
||||
<p>The smell of the pages, the scraping of your pencil when taking notes and the crisp pages refusing to turn all add to the experience.</p>
|
||||
<p>There is no denying that a physical book has a tactile feel as compared to a tablet.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Self-Development</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Reading books physically is a proven method to developing yourself.</p>
|
||||
<p>It helps you gain knowledge, reduces screen time and makes for a spectacular habit to implement.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you want to improve your life, start off with books.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Sharing</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is trivial to share a book with a friend or relative.</p>
|
||||
<p>This reduces one's dependency on money as multiple people essentially have a shared bookshelf.</p>
|
||||
<p>Sharing information and empowering people you love the most is a wonderful way to employ a sense of connection.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To truly absorb the information you are reading, read them physically.</p>
|
||||
<p>There is a vast supply of untapped information in books.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have started reading <a href="../library/">a plethora of physical books</a>, mostly on finance.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you are a Muslim, this also includes reading the Qur'an as there are thousands of new pieces of information that you may come across.</p>
|
||||
<p>To truly make use of the books you read, read them physically.</p>
